Hints & Tips
The POCKETALKER
®
ULTRA has been
designed to be as easy to use as possible.
However, if you have trouble, check the

into the “MIC” jack and the earphone
or headphone is plugged into the
“EARPHONE” jack.
2. Make sure the batteries are not depleted
and have been inserted correctly into the
battery compartment.
3. If rechargeable, make sure the batteries
are sufciently charged.
4. If you experience a howling or squealing
sound, this is called feedback.
Depending on the earphone or
headphone used, you can sometimes
get feedback when the volume control is
turned higher than 3 or 3

To eliminate feedback, turn down the
volume control or move the microphone
